New OER: ¡Voy en camino! - Spanish Language and Intercultural Learning

by Amanda Grey

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: ¡Voy en camino! Spanish Language and Intercultural Learning Written by: Constanza Rojas-Primus and Ana Robles Primary Subject: Language learning: grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation [cid:image005.png@01D9DB48.53A6D130] ¡Voy en camino! means “I’m on my way” in Spanish. Since learning an additional language and the culture is a journey in itself, ¡Voy en camino! captures the voyage to get there. ¡Voy en camino! has been created to serve the first two introductory Spanish language courses at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) and to solidify our commitment to Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC). All units of study are designed to be interactive with embedded audio, videos and links for learners to practice the material along the way. Learners can self-pace and self-test their knowledge both individually and with the assistance of an instructor. ¡Voy en camino! has plenty of opportunities to practice writing and speaking with downloadable capabilities becoming a Spanish teaching and learning tool that promotes and supports sustainable renewable learning. With its digital format and open publication ¡Voy en camino! is also meant to join the Spanish teaching open education community and provide access to learning to interested users along the way.

Research Opportunity: Open Education Research Fellowship

by Amanda Grey

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share with you the following opportunity to participate in open education research from the Open Education Group<https://openedgroup.org/>: We are seeking applicants for the next cohort! I would really appreciate it if you would share the call for applications below in your professional networks. The Open Education Group thanks to generous support from the Hewlett foundation is seeking to support early career researchers to conduct studies in open education (what is open education, click here<https://sparcopen.org/open-education/>) through the open education research fellowship. The purpose is to support education professionals to develop their open education scholarship ideas into published works. Specifically, this fellowship seeks to provide mentorship, community, and some financial support to carry out their ideas in open education research. Financial support includes attendance at the Open Education Conference in 2023 (November 7-9, virtual) and 2024 (in person in the United States, TBD). The fellowship will also pay for article processing charges to allow for publications developed in this fellowship to be publicly available (around $3,000). In addition, fellows will receive a stipend of $1200 per article submitted prior to January 15, 2025, based on their fellowship work. Applications will be assessed based on its potential contribution to open education, feasibility, and novelty. In the application, prospective fellows will be asked to explain how your proposed research project would be relevant to diversity, inclusion, equity, and access to education. Applicants should have some prior research training and will be asked to list their previous research coursework. For the purpose of this fellowship, the following groups are considered early career researchers: doctoral graduate student (PhD, EdD, PsyD, DSW, DNP, DBA), postdoctoral researchers, pre-tenure faculty, teaching-track/clinical faculty (including librarians), and faculty at teaching-intensive institutions (liberal arts, community colleges, regional institutions, etc.), K-12 administrators and teachers, and public education employees. Full or part time status applicants are eligible. Tenured faculty at research institutions (R1 or R2) would generally not be considered early career researchers. Please feel free to contact Virginia Clinton-Lisell with questions about eligibility at virginia.clinton(a)und.edu<mailto:virginia.clinton@und.edu>. Note, due to legal reasons, we can only offer this fellowship to early career researchers working in the United States/Canada. If you have a work visa for the United States or Canada, please check with your visa guidelines regarding payment eligibility from the fellowship prior to applying. While this fellowship is limited to US and Canadian residents, we strongly encourage research projects with global perspectives, particularly in the Global South. Learning more about the fellowship in this video<https://youtu.be/cxFTRH6dPLU>. https://youtu.be/cxFTRH6dPLU Applications are due June 15th, 2023, at 11:59 pm Central Daylight Time and may be found here.<https://byu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dj5ITUWTogyKvhr> https://byu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dj5ITUWTogyKvhr Examples of research projects previously supported for publication in the fellowship include the following (see a comprehensive list here<https://openedgroup.org/fellowship/publications-by-oer-research-fellows>): Brandle, S.

New OER: Gender in Canada - A Companion Workbook

by Amanda Grey

Hello! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Gender in Canada: A Companion Workbook Edited by: Rebecca Yoshizawa Primary Subjects: Gender studies, gender groups [cid:image001.png@01D95C98.B3BAABC0] This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health. This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content. (1) Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas. (2) The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon. (3) Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments. (4) Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.

New OER! Introduction to Criminology

by Amanda Grey

Introduction to Criminology Edited by Dr. Shereen Hassan and Dan Lett, MAS  [cid:image001.png@01D93622.65154120] Link to Resource: Introduction to Criminology<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/introcrim/> Although this open education resource (OER) is written with the needs and abilities of first-year undergraduate criminology students in mind, it is designed to be flexible. As a whole, the OER is amply broad to serve as the main textbook for an introductory course, yet each chapter is deep enough to be useful as a supplement for subject-area courses; authors use plain and accessible language as much as possible, but introduce more advanced, technical concepts where appropriate; the text gives due attention to the historical “canon” of mainstream criminological thought, but it also challenges many of these ideas by exploring alternative, critical, and marginalized perspectives. After all, criminology is more than just the study of crime and criminal law; it is an examination of the ways human societies construct, contest, and defend ideas about right and wrong, the meaning of justice, the purpose and power of laws, and the practical methods of responding to broken rules and of mending relationships. Special thanks to Leah Ballantyne, LLB LLM, a Cree lawyer from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, who provided expert Indigenous consultation/editing for this textbook.  This OER was jointly funded and supported by KPU Arts, KPU OER Grants, KPU OPUS, BCcampus and the Justice Institute of BC.     Check out the KPU Pressbooks Catalogue<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalog/openkpu> of works published by the Open Publishing Suite (OPUS)<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.  Learn more about KPU Open Education<http://www.kpu.ca/open>.

OTESSA Conference Proposal Extension

by Amanda Grey

Hello! I am passing along an opportunity that might be of interest. OTESSA is the Open/Technology in Education, Society, and Scholarship Association<https://otessa.org/2023/>, and the 2023 conference will be held from May 27-June 2 as part of Congress 2023 (Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences)<https://www.federationhss.ca/en/congress/about-congress>. The OTESSA call for proposals has been extended to January 31, and there are opportunities to present in-person (in Toronto) and online. Here is the invitation: We would like to share that we have an extended Call for Proposals for participation in OTESSA 2023 due January 31st. Only 250-500 words are needed for a research-oriented or practice-oriented proposal. If you wish to publish as well, you can submit a proceeding (1000-2000 words – or media) now or at any later date. Please make sure the new templates are used and submission information is reviewed on our conference submission portal<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconferenc…>. We also have opportunities available for people to submit full articles to the OTESSA Journal<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournal.o…>. Please note that we have made a precedent-making arrangement with Congress organizers (from the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences) in that we will have online-only days available within our program as well as the days hosted on campus at York University. This will be an exciting time for us to explore and experiment how to build community and connection across all participations in OTESSA 2023. Our schedule will be as follows: May 27 – Online only sessions (and keynote) May 28 – No sessions (gap day/travel day) May 29/30/31 – Sessions and keynotes on site at York University (we will be making these sessions as accessible as possible through sharing of materials and audio or video streams or recordings) June 1 – No sessions (gap day/travel day) June 2 – Online only sessions (and keynote) We are excited to start and close our conference together in the same mode. We welcome any of our members who wish to join a planning committee to work out particulars to contact us at conference(a)otessa.org<mailto:conference@otessa.org>. We are very proud to be creating this precedence at Congress as it will allow our members who wish to present online to be able to do so without any co-presenter-on-campus counterpart. This advances inclusion for all of our members. We received 3x the submissions for our first call and we hope to see this trend continue with our second and final call due January 31st. Approximately half of our submissions are requesting to be on site and half are requesting to be online. Please do spread the word of our final call as growing our community will help to give us the support needed to further advance our goals, systems, and operations to build out our community and advocacy for our field in ways that support both research and practice. We would like to remind our members that registration waivers and discounts are available, so please do not let financial resources block your participation in OTESSA. For information, please reach out to conference(a)otessa.org<mailto:conference@otessa.org> Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you at OTESSA 2023!

by Urooj Nizami

Congratulations UN SDG Fellows & Wilson School of Design! [cid:image001.png@01D73791.893E5C30] Congratulations to Monica Affleck and Reynold Vaz, recipients of the 2021-22 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Open Pedagogy Fellowship<https://www.kpu.ca/open/un-sdg-fellowship>! This fellowship is designed to assist faculty with creating renewable assignments (all of which will carry a Creative Commons<https://creativecommons.org/choose/> license) to help students become agents of change in their own communities. Each fellowship team (which will include at least one faculty member from KPU and one faculty member from a partner institution will design three renewable assignments during the Summer 2021 semester. A minimum of two renewable assignments will be deployed in the classes of each fellowship team during the subsequent academic year. [cid:image002.png@01D73791.893E5C30] Congratulations to the Wilson School of Design on its second Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC)<https://media.kpu.ca/media/What+is+the+Zero+Textbook+Cost+%28ZTC%29+initiat…> program—the Bachelor of Interior Design<https://www.kpu.ca/calendar/2018-19/design/interiordesign/interiordesign-de…>! KPU’s ZTC programs allow students to pursue an education without spending a cent on textbooks. The IDSN program joins the Wilson School of Design’s Certificate in Foundations in Design<https://www.kpu.ca/design/find> along with five other ZTC programs. Search the KPU timetable<https://media.kpu.ca/media/Finding+Zero+Textbook+Cost+%28ZTC%29+Courses/0_o…> to find a growing list of for-credit courses without the cost of textbooks. Students who enrol in this four-year program can expect to save money! Hear what Lucie Gagne, Chair of Interior Design, has to say: “Our Interior Design Program is a highly regarded program, one that, in large part, focusses on student success. Given the global economy and issues of fundamental affordability, we have made it a priority to ensure the program remains viable and sustainable by finding cost savings strategies for our students. We are thrilled that we have been able to implement making the Interior Design Degree a Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC) program” -Lucie Gagne, Chair of the Interior Design Program Best, [logo gif] Urooj Nizami; MISt, MA (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Office of Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University e urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca<mailto:urooj.nizami@kpu.ca> w www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Subscribe to the KPU Open listserv here<https://lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/openkpu> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

by Urooj Nizami

Available Now: Test Bank for Introduction to Consumer Behaviour | Andrea Niosi Edited by Andrea Niosi (Melville School of Business) [A person smiling in front of a sunset Description automatically generated with low confidence] Instructors, to request access to the test bank for this OER, please see: https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/ancillary-requests/ Link to Resources: Introduction to Consumer Behaviour<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=42…> & Ancillary Resource Guide<https://opentextbc.ca/ancillaryconsumerbehaviour/> This open textbook was designed for students studying business or marketing at an undergraduate level. It draws on the fields of marketing, business, communications, media studies, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. The book invites readers to examine the internal forces that shape consumer decision making, such as perceptions, motivations, personality, and attitudes as well as the external ones, such as social and situational influences, culture, and subcultures. This text centres the lived experiences of today’s consumers, specifically, undergraduate students. The author has also made efforts to decentre whiteness and dominant culture perspectives wherever possible to ensure a broader and more accurate representation of diverse consumers. This OER contains content created by students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University and is best used alongside the Ancillary Resource Guide<https://opentextbc.ca/ancillaryconsumerbehaviour/> that contains several essays, case studies, assignments, and project outlines, and an accompanying multiple choice test bank.

New OER | Cases on Social Issues: For class discussion / Deirdre Maultsaid

by Urooj Nizami

Cases on Social Issues: For class discussion Edited by Deirdre Maultsaid<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/social-issue-cases/front-matter/70/> [Graphical user interface, website Description automatically generated] Link to resource: https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/social-issue-cases/ This Open Educational Resource, “Cases on Social Issues: For Class Discussion” includes valuable cases on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion for student use. The critical events portrayed in the cases are realistic and emotional, and feature the experiences of under-represented and marginalized people. These thoughtful, contemporary cases pose ethical dilemmas about social issues that encourage post-secondary students and instructors to have stimulating, inclusive, and compassionate discussions. Inspired by input from post-secondary students and authored by people usually under-represented in education material, this resource is designed for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students in the humanities, social sciences, business, healthcare, science, agriculture, environmental studies, law and more. Each case is supplemented with modifiable discussion prompts, notes for teaching strategy, and a short reading list. This resource is a work in progress.

Expression of Interest: Development of Open Courses

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, BCcampus has recently released an expression of interest regarding the development of open courses<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/expression-of-interest-devel…>. BCcampus would like to add further open courses to the open online course collection<https://collection.bccampus.ca/> that align with open textbooks currently in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection. We are looking for B.C. applicants who have developed, adapted, or adopted an open textbook in our B.C.
